Hi Guy's, I just picked up a Champion VR5-120 compressor, that looks to have been built around the mid 90's. Before I put it into service I want to adjust the drive belts.
From what I can see the belt guard has two hinges, one on each side. I just don't know how to open it. I feel really stupid, but is there a trick to opening these guards?
I know I can just unbolt the whole thing and remove it, but I would like to use the hinges to open it, as that it appears that it was designed for easy access.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Figured this out myself. Drive one of the pins in the hinge out and the guard opens up, pivoting on the opposite hinge.
